With Jet elite the only thing I've gotten some discount vouchers and upgrade coupons. Also for the last two times I've flown kf at MAA and HYD they had an agent meet me out side the airport and take my bags and bring me the boarding card and luagge tags while I was asked to wait directly in their lounge. so no need to go even to the checkin counter or get security screening of bags. they take care of that.
I think it is important to notice the difference in wide body J and narrow body J. Kingfisher F is better than Jet's domestic J but wide body J on Jet is a great product. I have not experienced J on IT's widebodies (soon to be wet leased to AI and go into service around Aug on BLR-SFO route). I'll reserve my judgement until then.
You're right that airport service seems to be far superior for Kingfisher F relative to 9W J. I cannot compare top tier elite on IT vs Platinum on 9W yet. I just turned Platinum on 9W but do not have IT experiences at top tier level to compare.
